But wait, there’s more.
In each episode, she pulls back the curtain on the ever-evolving world of VR, exploring the challenges of business building and the ins and outs of a freelance career in this cutting-edge industry.
4. Between Realities
Billed as the VR podcast from the ‘philosophical gamer’s perspective’, Between Realities is now in its fifth season. However, hosts Alexander Meland (AlexVR) and Harry Skigis (Skeeva) show no signs of slowing down.
The true strength of this podcast is the ability the hosts have to engage with fellow creators. Notable insights are shared and there’s a strong community spirit amongst viewers. Past guests have included Cas & Chary, Andreea Ion Cojocaru, and GingasVR.
5. VR Download
Broadcast live in VR to Youtube, The VR Download is an engaging slot to catch up on all the latest news from within the VR space. The weekly show consists of a hardware and industry trend-based discussion.
Host duties pass between Upload VR’s “Reverend” Kyle Riesenbeck, Ian Hamilton and David Heaney. Expect to indulge in expert commentary regarding those need-to-know developments that constantly alter the industry landscape.
6. FReality
FReality contributes the latest immersive tech news and opinion from inside the VR gaming industry. The USP of this particular podcast is the veritable supergroup of content creators that lead it. Virtual Reality Oasis, Rowdy VR, Zimtok5, and Nathie debate the latest news and views with a good dose of humour and insight thrown in.
Released on a bi-weekly schedule, tune in to this if you enjoy a light-hearted chat and VR gaming analysis.
7. This Week In XR Podcast
